"Such a great place! Rooms are nice and large with AC! Close to everything and the staff is super friendly and helpful. "

"Hotel Abbazia was a gem—super conveniently located to public transportation (railway station and Piazzale Roma) and the Grand Canal but set back on a quiet side street. The staff was extremely friendly, accommodating and helpful. Room was great—comfortable bed, effective AC, reasonably priced."

"This place is amazing. The location is truly everything. You are right next to the Rialto bridge with beautiful views from our room of the Grand Canal. The staff was extremely helpful, always willingly providing recommendations and helping with luggage. Breakfast included eggs, not just croissants and the seating was right on the sidewalk by the water. St. Marks Basilica and Doge Palace were only a 10 minute walk through the Venetian streets where you can do some shopping along the way and get a little lost. The air conditioning was perfect and we left the windows open at night for the cool breeze. The terrace was a great nightly option, bring your drink and snack just relax and watch the hustle and bustle below. Highly recommend this place. "

"Lovely hotel and super convenient location for transportation (water or land). You can walk to a van which can drive you to the airport. Walkable to the major touristic points as well."

"The hotel was centrally located, very clean, and the staff was extremely helpful. They arranged transportation for us and gave recommendations for dining. Overall it was a very pleasant, efficient operation and I would not hesitate to stay there again."

"From the moment we arrived at the Royal Marco Hotel, everything exceeded our expectations. The location is unbeatable—tucked away just far enough from the crowds to offer peace and quiet, yet steps from all the iconic sights of Venice. Waking up to views of the canals and walking out into the heart of the city was a dream. What truly set this hotel apart, however, was the staff. Every single person we interacted with was warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful with local recommendations and planning. They made navigating Venice so much easier and added a personal touch to our stay that we deeply appreciated. The hotel itself was immaculate—beautifully maintained, with charming details throughout that reflect the elegance and history of Venice. Our room was comfortable, quiet, and well-appointed, making it easy to relax after long days of sightseeing. In every way, the Royal Marco Hotel made our trip to Venice unforgettable. I would absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the city and will definitely stay here again in the future."

"Great hotel for the price. Right in the heart of San Marco, venice. Staff was amazing. Rooms slightly dated but clean and comfortable. Amazing amenities "
